News & Announcements
July 21: Zero HIV Stigma Day
July 21st marks Zero HIV Stigma Day, spearheading a movement and uniting people, communities, organizations, and entire countries to raise awareness and take action against HIV stigma, which reinforces and amplifies the HIV pandemic and related inequalities. While occasions such as World AIDS Day bring needed awareness to HIV in general, there has never been a global awareness day specifically to challenge the impact of stigma, which persists despite biomedical advancements in HIV prevention and care.
Routine HIV Testing is Here, CT!
Effective January 1, 2023, all persons over the age of 13 shall be offered an HIV test in primary care settings, however, the patient can opt out of being tested. Also effective, all persons over the age of 13 shall be offered an HIV test in emergency departments unless they are being treated for a life-threatening emergency, opt out of testing, or are unable to opt out of testing.
CT Routine HIV Testing Provider Toolkit
The Routine HIV Testing toolkit was developed for medical providers and contains all of the resources needed to implement HIV testing in a manner that is consistent with public health law and good clinical practice.
